Our Process
How We Install Your New Roof
We handle every new roof installation from first call to final cleanup. Here's the exact process we follow for homes across Rockaway, from Green Pond Road to the Highlands.
- Free On-Site Inspection & Estimate — We meet you at your home, inspect your roof deck, measure every slope, and discuss material options like Malarkey or CertainTeed. You get a written estimate within 24 hours.
- Contract & Material Order — We hand-write your contract with no fine print, order factory-certified shingles from GAF or Owens Corning, and schedule your start date. License #13VH08923400 goes on every permit.
- Prep & Tear-Off — Our crew sets up tarps and dumpsters, removes old shingles down to the deck, and inspects for rot. We replace any damaged plywood before laying underlayment.
- Installation — We install ice and water shield on eaves and valleys, nail new shingles per manufacturer specs, flash all vents and chimneys, and cap the ridge with proper ventilation. Every step is inspected by our foreman.
- Cleanup & Final Walkthrough — We magnet-sweep the yard, haul away all debris, and walk the roof with you to confirm every detail. You get a 50-year transferable warranty on select shingles and our number for any questions.

Real Work, Real Results
A New Roof That Held Through Three Nor'easters
Last fall we replaced a failing 20-year-old roof on Green Pond Road. The owners wanted something that could take a beating. We gave them a Malarkey Vista system with a 50-year warranty.
Quick Answers
New Roof Installation — Your Questions Answered
We've been installing roofs in Morris County since 2011. Here are the questions we hear most often from homeowners in Rockaway, Denville, and Dover.
How much does a new roof installation cost in Rockaway?
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, and shingle choice. For a typical 30-square home with architectural shingles, expect $8,000 to $15,000. We write every contract by hand — no hidden fees. Call (973) 636-4945 for a free estimate on your specific roof.
How long does a new roof installation take?
Most residential installations take 2 to 4 days. A steep pitch or complex valley work can add a day. We schedule around weather — we know Morris County patterns better than the news.
Do you remove the old shingles first?
Yes. We always tear off the old roof down to the deck. No layovers here. That lets us inspect the sheathing and install new underlayment — a must for a 50-year warranty from Malarkey or GAF.
What brands do you install?
We are factory-certified for Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning. We also install IKO and Atlas. Each comes with a 50-year transferable warranty on select shingles.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Every job gets the proper permit from your town — Rockaway, Denville, Jefferson, you name it. We have a 15-year track record with zero code violations. Our license number is NJ HIC #13VH08923400.
What if my roof has water damage underneath?
During tear-off, we check for rot or mold. If we find it, we stop and show you photos. We replace damaged decking before laying new shingles. No surprises — you approve any extra work before we start.
Is a new roof a good investment?
A new roof adds curb appeal and can lower your insurance premium. Our roofs hold up through nor'easters — like the one that hit Green Pond Road in 2019. Plus, we offer transferable warranties that boost resale value.
Can I install a new roof myself?
We don't recommend it. A DIY roof can void your warranty, miss code requirements, and lead to leaks. We're licensed, insured, and bonded since 2011 — let us handle the risk. Call (973) 636-4945 for a free quote.
